What was lost that day is incalculable....

And the least we can do as citizens is to unflinchingly look at what the preponderance of the currently available evidence reveals. Even if you have to expend some effort seeking it out. Even if it leads to some very frightening conclusions.

Many of us already have, but some still won't look. They are afraid of being labeled a "conspiracy theorist", which is just the dismissive way the PTB/MSM ridicules those with enough independent thought to question any official government storyline. The assumption being, apparently, that folks in government never lie or plan amongst themselves to gain power, resources, and leverage. Seriously?? Earth to MSM!

I don't pretend to know everything that really happened in terms of the events of 9/11/01. But I do know this, to the core of my being: The crap peddled in the official 9/11 report is nonsense. Officials with nothing to hide don't destroy evidence after the biggest mass murder in American history. Officials with nothing to hide don't fight tooth-and nail against an investigation into the aforementioned mass murder. Officials with nothing to hide don't ignore evidence from hundreds of eyewitnesses, or refuse to follow significant money trails. And officials with nothing to hide are willing to testify under oath at Congressional hearings!

Amendments numbers 1 and 4...Whatever privacy Americans had from business...Respect for local police...Respect for the immigrants who came to this country to spawn the ilk of today who wants immigrants deported or worse...Any semblence of "The American Dream"...Basically any laws, rules or ideas formed by the founding fathers of a new nation to the corporate structure of a new, fascist nation...Pretty much the COnstitution of the United States, although most of its citizens don't realize that yet...Fear of your vililante neighbors...if you do anything that might be construed as against the "norm", whatever the hell that is...Loss of public education of Americans...Privatization of everything the Right and now much of the Left can give to business at the expense of Americans...Millions of jobs...

What was gained that day (by political/corporate America)?

More oil for business...Rampant paranoia for Americans...Hatred increased by 1000% against anyone not carrying an "I'm an American" badge...The ability of the pseudo American corporate/political system to enact whatever laws it wishes...regardless of the Constitution...

and

Pretty much anything else any large corporation wants or ever will want!

In a nutshell, the door was finally slammed on this republican democracy, while the emerging corporate-state thrived in the darkness amidst its spreading poison. The incubation of this insanity proved it could be done years ago in Dealey Plaza. It reached critical mass twelve years ago.

Where does it go from here? More importantly, how do we...We, the People, respond to it? Could November hold these answers?

“In the councils of government we must guard against
the acquisition of power, whether sought or unsought,
by the military industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties and democratic processes.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower
from his final address to the nation
January 17, 1961

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
--Thomas Jefferson
